For people who would prefer not to receive unsolicited mail in their letterbox EcoVoice has created a ‘No Junk Mail’ sticker. 50c from each $1 sale is donated to Keep Australia Beautiful. You can read catalogues online at Eco Voice or go direct to the relevant company or retailer website.

Government misadvised on global warming

Having considered carefully all the arguments put forward by the `government and its scientific advisors, the authors Bob Carter, David Evans, Stewart Franks, Bill Kininmonth & Des Moore conclude in their Quadrant Online article Wrong advice, wrong policy:

(i) that there is no proven threat of dangerous warming of human origin,

(ii) that costly attempts to cut Australian carbon dioxide emissions will cause no change in future climate, and

(iii) that to the considerable degree that the science of climate change remains uncertain, the appropriate policy setting should be one of preparation for and adaptation to all climate events and hazards as they occur.
